There is a bicycle pump valve to pressurise the accumulator tank but I believe it is a rubber bladder within the tank. They can rupture. If it is working properly you can adjust the pressure switch

Christian, If you have the original Amel-installed pump, I believe it is very likely that the Pressure switch needs replacing. If you have any other pump, it is possible that the pressure switch needs

I have the same problem on my SM 187 But the difference is that the pump stops normally when I am on the 220 V circuit ( quay plug ) or when my 24 V circuit is high voltage ( 27 V or over )but in that

Under Bills "#7 - Something else" we had a failed hose clamp where the pump output hose connected to the copper pipe that runs along the hull to serve the faucets. It was buried in the engine room

Alex, Since you did not say which pump you have, I assume that you have the Amel-installed freshwater pump. The causes, in order of probability, can be: A tap or valve is open. Check all including

We used a bicycle pump - I think its a Schrader valve. Peter Forbes Carango - Amel 54 #035 Lymington UK

Hi Porter, Is there a process to re pressurise the air side of the accumulator tank? (tools, procedure). It feels the pump is cycling on/off more frequently (like 1s on, 1s off) nowadays when one tap

Eric, The foil is long enough to trim that much off several times. Most of the time the foil fails at the collar caused by jamming the mainsail, usually because of batten jam. Yours appears to be a

Hi Peter, if you mean to make a Y like bridle between two cleats, with one leg way longer (to amidship cleat), I don't think it will be as strong of a solution, because the weakest link will become

Check the pressure switch. Or maybe the pump never makes the pressure for the switch to act. You can adjust the pressure on off levels and use the gauge to note the levels required. If the pump keeps

Hi Porter , your idea sounds good , would you be able to post a drawing please. Thanks Micky Ball VERY SOON to be new Santorin Owner

On my Amel I have freshwater pump made by CEM model PB/2X from Italy. It starter to leak at the 24V motor. Is there any repair kit available. I check web but could not find anything. I do not even

Alex I agree with Wolfgang. Definitely the first place to check. Often cleaning the pressure plates (24 pump switch off!) and then corrosion x’ing them will lubricate and prevent future issues.

Alex, it is the pressure switch . To solve it you may clean it from debits and rust and/or buy a new one from internet 30 €. I think there is previous mail and pictures in the forum. Best regards

Hello All. I’ve thought about this a bit. Luckily never had to deploy our JSD. BUT, Have been thinking of an easy yoke out of dynama: which we cary a bit of on the boat. A sling between the aft

Dear Amelians, the freshwater pump that seats above the small water tank in the engine room doesn't stop working. I still get freshwater everywhere on the boat, but I have to switch of the pump off

I found it extremely difficult to furl the main. After I dropped the motor, I found the culprit was the manual gearbox. I disassembled it and found that the tapered roller bearing was completely

Hi Ruslan, I amREALLY planning with my “weather planning” on NOT having to use this device at all– hahahahahaha but that’s impossible. To answer your question: at this point I am forced to

Ruslan, I believe that there are several causes: Amel uses a thin copper foil The gray PVC Float Switch Pipe will chafe the foil Many owners choose to add chemicals caustic to copper to the gray

Hi, do you plan to install chain plates for it or use aft cleats? I know Eric uses aft cleats, but he also reinforced them from the factory for exactly that reason. what do other Amel owners do?
